Hollow core door racks are nice but can be problamatic getting in and out of the room you want them in. Duh, take a door and add more doors to it making it into a box and then try to get it through the doorway. I believe most doors are 30" with some (closets and bathrooms) being only 28". If your tubs allow it, go with the smaller 28" doors for your rack which will go through a 30" opening. That way you could make the rack much larger as long as one dimension (height or width) is less then the doorway height.
I've heard many stories over the years of folks making various racks and cages only to get into a "jam" when trying to get them into the room. I try to always factor that in and make at least one dimension less than or equal to 28". More typically around 24".
For example, this rack is 40" deep, 21 1/2" wide and 75" tall. Just short enough to roll through a doorway.
